9. How Can Your Family Support You?
As with any chronic condition, social support is important. Your family and friends can provide emotional support or volunteer to take on tasks that you can no longer handle. They may also help you find support groups in your area with people who understand exactly what you’re going through.
Another way they can support you is by signing up to be a blood marrow donor. Even if they are not a match for you, they may be a match for someone else, or they can help raise awareness that eventually leads to a match for you.
